Dear Prayer partner,
Sorry about the long periods between our letters. There is always so much to tell and we always need your prayers. I can blame it on busy-ness, or many things but I just have not taken the time. There are so many information channels available these days, social networks, blogs, emails, etc, etc. My favorite all time way of communicating with people is just talking with them. In this spinning world that is not really much of an option. I don’t know what you use. Our Solomon Island internet in slow and also expensive. I certainly want people who pray for us and otherwise support us to be informed.
A number of our intercessor prayer warriors have passed away and are rejoicing in Heaven. If you are or would like to join us as an intercessor please contact us and let us know, how best to pass prayer letters to you. We certainly want to keep you informed as you are the most valuable participant with us in His ministry.
Prayer Requests:
Technology Woes:
This past Thursday morning I went to my office, turned on the computer and discovered that my power supply was out. We turn off and unplug the computer at night to protect it from power surges. I went to town and PTL they had it in the first store I checked. Returned home, and went to wash my hands and the water was off. No problem as we have frequent power outages but then I flipped on the light switch and discovered the problem was with the water pump. So we were out of water until Friday morning. They were able to fix it and returned it on Friday morning. Very interesting that these went out on same day.
Banking Woes:
Our bank in the Solomon’s is having trouble taking in our monthly allocations. I’m praying that this gets fixed soon. With the above mentioned unforeseen expenses we are out of money (in the Solomons), but PTL for Visa Card and available funds in USA. God provided extra for our personal financial needs just when we needed it.
Bible College Class:
I am in the middle of teaching a night class, three nights (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights) per week. In this evening class “Christian Moral and Ethics” I have two students and it will go for two more weeks.
November 6 will begin another block class. So I am preparing to teach ‘Johannine Literature’, and ‘Church of the Nazarene, History and Polity’ while Nancy will teach ‘Life and Teaching of Jesus Christ’. Prayer is requested as we prepare for these courses.
District Assembly:
Our annual District Assembly time is approaching fast. The Assembly meetings will begin on October 31 and end on November 4th and then we will have a one day break before we begin the Bible College block courses. Our District Secretary is in job transition and so is now in Honiara and providing valuable assistance in helping me in getting ready and taking some pressure off me.
Nancy and Zion Christian Academy (ZCA):
ZCA has the building profile up for their new classroom and soon should begin digging the footing and start the construction for the new classroom. Pray that they will get a lot of volunteer or donated labor to help with the building so they can build it before school starts next January.
Nancy will not be serving as principal of the school next year and so pray for the school as they recruit and hire her replacement as well as some other teacher replacements.
Home Assignment:
Pray for us as we will soon be making our arrangements for travel to the USA for Home Assignment in March 2013.
